Miffy Lookalike

MONDAY!!! *yawn*…The kids love Miffy Rabbit so I decided to make it into a sandwich. This is a super easy sandwich to make. I used a rabbit sandwich mold today but the same sandwich can be made without a rabbit mold. Life easier with a mold but you can still come up with the same cute sandwich without it. I will share with you how to make a sandwich with some simple items available in the kitchen in the next post.

I used a scissor to cut out the 'X' mouth and seaweed puncher for the eyes. You can survive without those seaweed punchers by cutting out your own shapes using a pair of sharp scissor. Just need more time that's all.

I made a Miffy Rabbit using rice in 2013 (picture below). When I first started preparing food for my children in 2013, I made rice bento for them to bring to school for lunch.  However, the rice would be cold by lunch time and they were not able to heat up the food. 

I have tried several methods but decided to focus on sandwiches instead. They used to buy a simple sandwich for recess(made up of a single slice of bread and half a slice of cheese) and that's it! With the cute sandwich lunchbox, I will always pack 2 slices of bread, throw in an egg at times, some fruits to go along and not to mention a small bottle of milk for picky eaters. I hope my 2 skinny monkeys can gain more weight over time.

I have also used a rabbit egg mold today and it looks pretty good(picture below). Added seaweed for the eyes and nose (not really necessary) because I have some extra seaweed on hand. If the egg is slightly bigger than the mold, there will be some bits squashed flat by the mold. Just trim it off with scissor and it will look prefect.

2013 vs 2015 Hotdog Bun

The first recess food that I have packed for my kids in 2013 was a hotdog bun. I do not make hotdog buns that often so there are only 4 buns in 2 years. 

The owl bun is their recess food today, the duckie bun was made in 2014 and the other two in 2013. Looking back at the creations, I guess the more recent ones look more appealing to the kids. It is a learning process and I am still trying to improve and come up with more cute food. :)

Hotdog Buns for Recess

As I do not use coloring in the food for my kids, it is important to add colors to the sandwich box using food separators, colorful food picks or even fruits. 

This is how the star shaped egg is created.


I bought this star shape
egg mold from Daiso
Singapore.

Use a hard boiled egg (must be hot after peeling off the shell!) and put it into the mold. Cover.

Soak in cold water for 10mins and remove from the mold. You will get this!

Just use seaweed to cut out the facial expression and put it on the egg.

My kids said they wanted the moon and the stars last night.

What do you do when your kids ask for the moon and the stars? Like any other parents, I do everything I can for them.

I saw an app with an icon of a bear taking picture with a camera. That reminded me that one of my kiddos is starting photography lesson in school this term. Therefore, I decided to make something similar. Ham and cheese sandwich with an egg and some fruits for school today. Hope she enjoys the sandwich as much as her photography classes.

Say CHEESE!!!

Once upon a time, when Disney Frozen merchandises were rare and few, I bought plain sandwich bags and drew the pictures using permanent marker. The kids were delighted of course! The classmates even asked for their used sandwich bags.

Whenever I feel lazy, I will dump the sandwich into the colored sandwich bags, paste some pretty stickers on it or write some encouraging words for the kids. And off they go to school with it.
